ABSTRACT
This chapter considers a genealogy of how leisure studies has (and has not) been queered from the mid-1970s to the contemporary moment. It considers one version of queer theory’s evolving relationship with feminism (and its influence on leisure research) through the work of Gayle Rubin, Judith Butler, and Jasbir Puar. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how certain homonationalist leisure formations (i.e., the Gay Games, rainbow Pride Tape hockey initiatives) reconsolidate white racial, classed, and citizenship privilege, at the expense, particularly in setter colonial states, of Indigenous peoples and communities.
